The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which will operate by capillary flow, novel means beingprovided for regulating the How yof liquid from the container in whichvthe liquid is positioned. l

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich will protect the liquid contained therein, and reduce theevaporation of the` liquid, to a minimum.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which willappear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the com-v bination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made withinthe'scope of what is claimed, without departingfrom the spirit of theinvention. f

Referring-to the drawings:

The figure illustrates a sectional view through the dispenser'.

The receptacle G is of a diameter less than the diameter of thecontainer 5 to provide a fluid chamber between the container andreceptacle, it being understood that the repositioned in the fluidchamber, the lower end of the notched bar being tubular in' formation asindicated at 9 to accommodate the wick 10, which has its oppositeendpositioned in the fluid chamber to absorb fluid therein. The `wick l0is shown as resting on one of the shoulders 11 formed by the notchedportions of the bar 8, whereby the length of the wick may be increasedor decreasedfto vary the `flow, of liquid from the fluid chamber.

In use, the receptable 6 is filled with the fluid to be dispensed, andthe container is positioned thereover. The device is now inverted ormoved to a position as indicated by the ligure of the drawings,whereupon the fluid by capillary attraction passes through the wick andis deposited thru the tubular member 9 in drops.
